FAA Flight Check for NAVAIDS
Methodology for setting up a flight check and processing payment for these flights:

1. Plan to schedule a flight check 3-4 months prior to the need for flight check. Send an e-mail to Georgia Hines (Georgia.hines@faa.gov) or call her (405-954-8545) to request a flight check and a reimbursable agreement. Alternatively, Kadi Barrett works with Georgia and she can be reached at kadi.d.barrett@faa.gov or 405-954-8545.
2. Georgia will ask for some pertinent contact and navaid information to fill in a reimbursable agreement and will send it to the consultant or the airport (the FAA normally contracts with airports,but can contract with consultants if they get a letter from the airport stating the consultant is their representative in this matter).
3. The airport (or consultant) will execute the reimbursable agreement and cut a check to send back to Georgia at the FAA.
4. Georgia will set up the payment in the FAA accounting system. Step 1-4 can take up to 6 weeks.
5. The airport and Georgia will need to stay in touch regarding the actual flight date(s). It can typically take between 1-4 weeks to get on the flight check schedule. This is because FAA/Flight Check is trying to coordinate their flights in the same area and combine the paying flights with non-paying flights which helps to reduce the costs for the paying flights.
6. Once the flight check has occurred, the costs will be tallied by Georgia and if a refund is due, she will cut the check back to the entity that signed the original check to FAA. She understands that AIP grants need a timely closeout of reimbursable agreements and she tries to get these done promptly.
